To cancel your account and withdraw your money, they invent the most absurd and weird stories.
They put the most shameful and slanderous accusations against you, obviously false.
Then they take at their own discretion several money as compensation for damages.
Please can you avoid this scam society, full of thief, as plague.
Can you save your money? Yes of course.

They say that you pay only 4 euro to reclaim money from your account skrill to your bank.
FAKE. YOU WILL PAY MORE AND MORE

I had been using Skrill for a year and although the fee's to convert and withdraw money were high, I had accepted that and continued business.
That all changed last early September when I moved a few hundred dollars from my Skrill account to my bank. The transfer went fine, however the money never hit my bank. I opened a ticket with Skrill customer service, they said wait 10 days. I did.
No money so contacted Skrill again and they stated there was an issue with my bank. Keep in mind I had the same cached banking info on Skrill website for quite some time with no changes. I noticed Skrill had put most of the money back minus $70 usd. They told me because my bank had an issue, that was the fee. I contacted my bank and they said they had no Skrill interactions for me on the day in question. When I went into my banking info on Skrill to confirm account info, SKRILL HAD DELETED THE BANK INFO. In my opinion, they did this to cover their tracks and so I didn't confirm all banking info was correct. When I read a variety of forums, Skrill had don't this with a lot of people and then charged the service fee. This appears to be a get rich scheme by Skrill. I immediately cashed out with newly entered banking info and closed my account. Please be very careful with Skrill or you may get ripped off as I and other did.
Also, read forums and make an informed decision whether Skrill is the right choice for you. You may be shocked when you read customer comments as I was!

O. K., everything was fine when i put my money from some sites on skrill, so i connect my credit cards, and with iban/swift i try to cash out. They say that after one day i will receive money. Ha. Problem start when i see that credit card on that transaction, was not mine, or, should i say they make some fake credit card, and, they claim that they send money. I open case by case, And, they didn't respond at all so finally respond, that, i'm an idiot who don't understand that they send me money.In short they scam me big one, so, stay away from them.

A month ago I got scamed by a great ninntendo switch offer on facebook. I been always very careful with too good to be true prices but because it was advertised on facebook and you could pay using Skrill I thought in the worst case I will get my money back because skrill is like paypal. I was wrong! Skrill doesn't care about customers and their customer money protection is ab ABSOLUTE lie. After about 10 messages at the end they said their merchant isn't abswering and that's all they can do. Thaks for nothing Skrill! DO NOT USE SKRILL! If you want a real protection paypal is the way! If I can manage to convince 100 people to not fall for that scam company I will have made world a better place.

I decided to use this as a wallet for online surveys payment. At first, I had no problem withdrawing my money. So I decided to save some money so I could withdraw a good quantity all at once.

That's when the problems started.

First of all, more than half my money was used for a Bitcoin purchase transaction which was obviously not mine. I contacted Customer Support and a human NEVER answered me. I didn't know if they were working on my case until I received an email saying my account was locked because of suspicious activity, which was NOT my suspicious activity. I never had a chance to report the shady transaction. So I want to withdraw the rest of my money so this doesn't happen again, and Skrill won't let me. I have to verify my account. I'm missing one document and I contacted customer service, saying I want to close my account. They wouldn't let me. So I found all these reviews. Now I'm afraid because I uploaded many important documents to Skrill. Fortunately, I didn't have much money there, but I already see it as lost money.

When they were quite small I helped them to get customers with their referral program. I got totally over 60.000,00 USD referral commissions during few years. Then they just freeze my account. They even freeze account of my friends. I moved abroad and was able to open new account with my name few years later. Then one day I moved back to my home country and I updated my address and there was not any problem. Then suddenly they few years later freeze my account and when I call to them they said that my account is frozen and they will not tell me why but they promised to send me one email which is here:

Those early days they had good and fast service and small transaction fees. Now they don't have customer service and have high transaction fees and top of that they just keep freezing accounts and they do very big damage by their actions. I don't even want to tell here how big damage they have done because anyone would not believe it. Be careful and don't trust to them. If You have to use it in some transactions where You can't see any other alternative then be aware that it is not safe. Almost anything can happen.

After you transfer the money, they block it and ask you to go through a complicated verification process.it will be my first and last to deal with them.

I made my first withdrawal without any problems, but to keep using the service, I needed to verify my identity. I followed their procedure for verification, and a couple of days thereafter I received a message from Skrill that my verification was complete. The same minute, another message followed saying that my verification was not in order, and further action was required. The site shows opposite information, one page says that my account is restricted and I need to verify my identity, whereas the verification page says that verification is complete. All the while, my account is blocked, and I cannot receive money. Customer service is non existent. I wrote to them many times about the problem, and received no response whatsoever, not one. Now, you decide if this is worth your mental health.

Skrill is a company trying to turn out to be a serious transmission company, it can work but it's a lottery. Sooner or later, there will be a problem and then you will not get help as a customer.

Bring over $ 2500 this money disappeared like in a dark hole when I conducted a banking operation to them. In the last month, the suspects have not solved this. Do not know if it will be solved either. They ask for proof of the transfer that I sent to them, this proof comes from my bank with then refuses to accept this. It feels like talking to the bank mafia, and you must try to prove to the mafia that you are right, but they are both judges and prosecutors, and they do not light on you at all. That is, impossible to solve any problems. So if you do not want to lose any money, use some serious payment service instead.

If you are lucka you can succes with some transfer, but when problem occour you will never use skrill again.

This idiot skrill.com stole my money they are scammers, they simply wake up one morning block a few account and buy a lambo or ferrai, they stole my $2557 i won on a gambling site, my winnings were paid but this thieves blocked my account, i was told to forward my id card and utility bill which i did, called skrill for 18 days at a strech, mailed and mailed, yet no useful response, this guys are coporate scammers run for your ife

Worst internet based experience till now. They stole my money and told me to provide my identity proof. Identity proof? Do you really want my identity proof to validate my transactions or are you requesting it to just deter me from accessing my funds? If you really want my ID verification, then why you allowed me to deposit fund in the first place? And if you really want to verify it, then tell me your problem with those documents which I have sent your way? So far, they have failed to give me authentic reason for not accepting any of my ID proofs.

The Skrill payment system is very sensitive for phising and scamming, Skrill is one of the biggest enablers of digital crime and money laundring. Instead of doing something about it, they support it and sponsor it, since they are making money from it. It's not strange that they changed their bad name, Moneybookers, to Skrill, in order to erase their criminal past, but they have just started over...

WARNING: Do not trust their platform, you are running the risk of losing all your money!
